Third Base.


Ok, so I suppose I owe you lads an explanation. I wanted to reply to Father Kit’s post featuring the Tesla tank with a picture of its baby, a Bob Semple tank. Unfortunately I wasn’t able get the picture of the BST to copy onto my hilariously clever post. Nor was I able to delete the post completely. I had to leave at least something so I selected the letter X. And I don’t have a 10 year old kid around to show me how to use my iPad. Rats!

Whenever I make a post and then decide that I didn't want it to be there in perpetuity, I erase everything. But since it insists I have to have something in the post, I use a period.

Works fine.

At least you aren’t related to the guy who needed a bolt cutter to steal the bike. 😁

I was doing a renovation job on the platform of a commuter rail station.

A fellow/sheilah had cable-locked their bicycle to a lamp post that I was tasked to remove; so I cut the post off at about that height, lifted the cable off and parked it and the bike against a convenient bench seat, and then finished removing the rest of the post.

I'da loved to have been there when they got off their train and discovered that the lamp post had been stolen but their bike wasn't worth the effort.  🙃

That last Instagram. One of the videos down below it was only about 5 seconds long. The guy decided that he would cook steak for the girl on the first day of her period.

 

Okay. But I've never seen anyone cook steak like that.

 

He's got the two steaks in the frying pan. On the burner. Puts a big lump of butter in it. Then after the butter melts, he tilts the pan and scoops up butter with a spoon and pours it on top of the steaks. He was basting the steaks with the melted butter.

 

I've never seen anyone do that. I wonder how it would taste?

Shocked me the first time I saw it done, Northern Minnesota by the lake, I was a guest and the host cooked.  Tasted fine, but I don't do it.

Arroser, aka butter basting, is a standard technique. Usually you get your pan screaming hot and get the steaks in it and quickly get a good crust (mallieard reaction) on both sides flipping about everyminuteor so for even cooking. .  Add the butter,  often with some crushed garlic,  sprigs of thyme and/or rosemary, and spoon the hot butter over the meat to infuse the flavor and help cook from the top.  

 

The few times I've done,  I then use the butter left in the pan to pour over potatoes,  or sautéed onions or mushrooms in it.  When I've seen it on cooking shows the butter is usually discarded. 

 

It's also a technique used for poultry and fish.  

 

My personal opinion is that while it's good,  it's not worth the extra effort or using up that much butter.
